A Stepmother’s Marchen

Chapter 25



Chapter 25

God! It was indeed a terrifying declaration that sent shivers down my spine. No, more than that, I thought only my kids had a bad mouth, but I guess all boys are that way these days.

“Do you understand?”

“Why aren’t you answering?”

“Oh, oh, oh, okay.”

When Lucas nodded his head up and down in a hurry, the boy let go.

As soon as I watched the really ugly back of my brother, who was running fast, the boy, who had been kicking his tongue, now stood with his sword on one shoulder and stared at me head-on.

“Are you okay? How did you get involved with that guy?”

“He’s my brother, thanks for your help anyway.”

“Your brother? That guy?” The boy looked at me with an incredible look. The clear autumn sky-like eyes quickly scanned me up and down.

As for me, I was using my brain to infer the identity of this boy. He looks familiar, but why can’t I remember who he’s right away?

“You deserve to be treated better than that, but if you don’t mind me asking,

wouldn’t that put you in an awkward position?”

It’s interesting to see him scratching his head. Maybe it was because I felt he was strangely innocent that I smiled without noticing, “That’s not going to happen. I’d rather say it went well.”

“I’m glad to hear that… but do you know that the way you talk is very unusual? I feel like I’m talking to my mother.”

……It’s not unusual. To this guy, I’m probably the same age as him.

I spoke to him the way I do with the lion cubs.

It was then that the boy, who was looking at me with his head tilted, suddenly smiled.

“Anyway, I’ll take you to where your company is. By the way, which noble house’s daughter are you?”

“What about you? Which noble house’s son are you?”

“Me? I’m from an important noble family.”

I have nothing to say. It’s clear from the sword, as well as the clothes and shoes, that they are quite expensive products for normal people.

Even if he’s the Crown Prince, he’s acting like a pain in the neck.. His parents must be suffering.

Feeling a soaring sense of sympathy for his parents of someone else’s house, I gently grabbed the hand that was offered to me.

There was an unexpected sense of warmth.

I think he’s as much of a swordsman as my eldest son.

When I reached the front of the clothing store under the escort of the unidentified boy, Jeremy’s golden hair, which somehow came out and sat on the stairs of the entrance, was the first thing to catch my eye.

The next moment, Jeremy jumped to his feet and shouted, “Huh? You are that damn guy from…!”

As I turned my head with a confused expression, I saw the black-haired boy laugh.

“Oh, it’s that slow guy from before. How can you be so slow?”

“This despicable bastard is laughing after snatching someone else’s belongings.”

“Precisely, it’s mine, because I paid for it. If you’re going to blame someone, blame your speed. Anyway, I don’t have time to play with you…”

“My lord, my lord! When the hell did you get out, I’ve been looking for a long time.”

“Where are you running off too again?!”

Fortunately, they didn’t continue to argue as a knight appeared, shouting with an overwhelming spirit. To be exact, the black-haired boy ran away from the knight at a truly amazing speed.

I managed to stop Jeremy, who was trying to chase him.

“You can buy another sword!”

“That prick is running away! Just if I catch him again…!”

Jeremy, who had been grinding his teeth for a long time, looked into my eyes with now suddenly serious eyes, “By the way, why did he come with you?”

“…I know. He said hello because he was an acquaintance.”

“Really? I don’t know which dog he is, but tell his family to educate him properly.”

For the memorial banquet in honor of my husband, Johannes Von Neuwanstein, I had to repair the interior of the main building, including the reception room.

I couldn’t count how many invitations there were. From the budget alone, it was clearly a super-luxurious one that exceeded the usual palace banquet.

The royal greetings, as well as the family members and cardinals of the capital, were scheduled to come. First of all, the Crown Prince and Jeremy have been close since they were young, and the Duke of Nurembert, who organized this banquet with me, is the younger brother of the Empress.

Therefore, it wasn’t unreasonable for me to shake up the place early and reconfirm the banquet hall several times and stir up the employees.

But most of all, the hardest thing was…

“The two of you need to learn to have some patience next time, understand?”

The twins, who wanted to play, were groomed. I appeased Elias, who complained that he didn’t like the color of his clothes, and struggled with Jeremy, who insisted that he would wear his sword.

“Why the hell do you need a sword for a banquet?”

“Stop being so stubborn! You aren’t even a real knight yet!”

“I’m going to be one soon. I’ll be one next year!”

“You are not yet, so please listen to me for the day!”

“Am I a child?!”

“What’s the matter with you?” Jeremy was very persistent, but I was no less than him.

Why is it that the person who will be recognized in the future is already so impatient?

In the end, I won this time.

I was exhausted, but when I saw the children wearing Madame Melissa’s clothing, I smiled with satisfaction; Rachel and Leon dressed in the same color light green dress and black suit; Elias dressed in a blue suit; Jeremy in a crimson uniform. At any rate, I should acknowledge that they look good.

Phew

Only after I confirmed that the children were ready did I hurry to groom myself.

The water-colored dress, which stands out with a deep-cut square neckline and ribbons, was a trendy design until the second half of next year.
